Great place, even better peoplr

Good clean rooms, convenient location to Gallata tower, and transit to other tourist sites. Excellent value for money. Kind, friendly, and very helpful staff. We ended up having travel problems and the staff made a room available for us to stay longer at the last minute, as our travel plans kept changing. Thanks so much. 10/10

The hotel was good, they have receptionist 24 hours and every day makes the beds and clean bathroom (and towels). The only negative point was the hotel are in a elevated street and if you have injuries in legs or kness, maybe should search another option. For the rest, is perfect, great location and good service (with english).

Çok zorda kalınmazsa tercih edilmez.

Odada lamba yok, yatak kenarındaki bir abajur çalışıyordu onu yakabildik en sonunda. Taharet musluğu bozuk, iki saat kapatmaya uğraştık, en son biraz hızını kesebildik. Banyo ile tuvalet alanını ayıran bir perde yok, ufacık bi cam var o da iş görmüyor, her yer su oluyor. Kağıt terlikle orada giyinmek geçmek çok zor. Klima var ama sadece on off yapıyor, ısıtma filan kesinlikle olmuyor, her modu ve ayarı defalarca denedim. Pencereler hava ve ses geçiriyor, nisan ayında olmamıza rağmen soğuktu, oğlum üşümesin diye sabaha kadar üstünü kontrol etmekten uyuyamadım.

Fiyatına göre memnun kaldığım bir konaklama idi. Konumu güzeldi. Eksiklerinden bahsetmem gerekirse, Odanın bir çok detayı çok tozluydu. Temizliklerin detaylı yapıldığını düşünmüyorum. İki otel ortak sanırım, resepsiyonun olduğu binanın yanında başka bir binada konakladık ve güvenlik yoktu.

Pictures are a lie as this property is running a scam, mattress was recovered from trash as it was covered in red stains and black ash (probably from smoking). Bathroom has awful smell. The rooftop brings in an immense amount of dust into the room which caused my skin to itch really badly. No elevator, 4 flights of stairs

If you want to stay in a great location with limited budget, this place is great. It’s just a few steps away from the Galata tower and everything else such as shops and restaurants. The room is nice and clean. Suat, the front desk person, is very courteous, helped me with useful information and transportation. I recommend this place and I would go back.

Una experiencia hermosa al llegar mi primer día en Estambul, los chicos muy lindos me atendieron a lo que necesitaba. Muy respetuoso y amables. El lugar muy seguro muy accesible cerca de Torre Galata, llegué en la noche sola y no tuve ningún contratiempo. Hotel muy cómodo y limpio. Volvería ahí sin dudarlo.

Hallo, also wenn man die Lage beachtet ist es sehr gut. Zum Zustand von Hotel eine reine Katastrophe, es gibt laut angebot ein Zimmer Service der aber bei uns nie im Zimmer war, seid Tag 1 gleiche Bett Wäsche und Handtücher. Nachdem wir an der Rezeption nachgefragt hatten wegen Zimmer Service und Handtücher hieß es wird gleich kommen aber es kam die ganzen Tag nichts, also sind wir nur 1 Duschen gegangen in 7 Tage Aufenthalt. Zimmer sehr dreckig und mit genommen. Überall sind schimmeln, Duschrinne und die Wand in der Dusche kaputt. Kann es nur jemanden empfehlen der nur abends kurz zum schlafen da ist.
